My occupation is a statistician. I tell people it is like "CSI without dead bodies" because analyzing a set of data that has been collected is like doing an autopsy on a deceased person in the sense that I'm trying to learn what I can from what statistics and information are available. Except in this case the information does not involve gross things. For me the research process can be humorous, scary, but always captivating.

Podcamp Sessions are Being Announced
The Sessions for this year's PodCamp are being announced for Oct. 27 & 28 at Point Park University. So far on Saturday the 27th there are 19 sessions to choose from (including one by me on statistics and social media) and 12 on Sunday. Of particular interest to PUSH/Healthcare4All PA members includes one on Social Media and the Media by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Kim Lyons, a panel discussion of Old Media and New Media by 2 Political Junkies Blogger David DeAngelo and KDKA political reporter Jon Delano, Josh Lucas has one on How Crowdsourcing Can Drive Nonprofit Engagement, and Zack Tanner has one on Social Media for Non-Profits. New ones are being added as of this writing and they are still taking submissions for new sessions here. The theme for this year is Build Your Digital Toolbox. The keynote speakers are still being determined. Below is the PodCamp 4 Keynote Address with PodCamp Pittsburgh founder Justin Kownacki and Pittsburgh City Councilman Bill Peduto.
